Isn't that kind of like a fava bean or scarlet runner bean? I know I have attempted to grow that,,,very familiar name,,,just can't put my finger on the details,,,obviously I wasn't too successful.. I don't think I tried it as a cover crop, though. Maybe something will spark my memory.

Has anyone grown Lab Lab as a cover crop? Several Texas growers have recommended to me. It's very stalking and looks like an orchid, but it's some kind of legume. Someone gave me a few seeds which are huge, but I don't even know when to plant it. I'm looking for a cover crop I can seed now. We are still waiting on our first real freeze. Suggestions?

still have not got a cover crop in, but will. I'm giving it a good
dose of ashes over the winter and also hoping to start collecting
leaves in town in a few weeks when they fall.

For crops, I will try a for a crop of field corn this year, maybe some
soybeans. Hopefully it will rain.
